Drawing upon a ‘great diversity of transaction experience across multiple asset classes and throughout the capital structure’, Sidley Austin LLP provides ’super commercial and very responsive’ advice to a borrower-focused client base engaged in new money deals as well as refinancing work for portfolio companies. James Crooks ‘brings a huge amount of market insight and knowledge to every transaction’, ensuring that he is able to ’guide clients deftly through how and where to push on terms’. The practice was recently bolstered by the arrival of Joe Kimberling, as well as new joint practice heads Sam Hamilton and Jay Sadanandan, all of whom joined from Latham & Watkins.
